EMBOSSlNG-MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 456,724, dated July 28, 1891.

Application filed October 29, 1890. Serial No. 369,675. (No model.)

parallel with the embossing-roller G, and be To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EMILE J AECK, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, a citizen of the United States, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Embossing-Machines, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in that class of machines that are used for embossing paper.

The invention consists in an embossing-machine having curved guides concentric with and a short distance from the circumferential surface of the feeding and embossing rollers.

The invention also consists in the construction and combination-of parts and details, as will be fully described hereinafter, and finally be pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents an elevation of my improved embossing-machine, parts being broken out. Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse sectional view of the same, parts being broken out.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The feed-rollerA is suitably mounted above the embossing-roller B, which in turn rests upon an impression-roller 0, made of paperpulp or any other analogous substance. In suitable arms 1), projecting upward from part of the frame D of the machine, a friction feedroller E is mounted directly above and in contact with the top of the main feed-roller A. On a shaft F, held fixed at the side of and parallel with the feed-roller A, two or more arms G are held adjacent to the circumference of the feed-roller A, said arms being approximately semicircular in shape and concentric with the feed-roller. Said arms are arranged very close to the circumference of the feed-roller and at a distance sufiicient to permit a sheet of paper to pass. Like curved arms G are held on a fixed shaft F at the side of and tween said guide-arms two rollers I-I, mounted loosely on the shaft F between fixed collars H, said rollers H being provided with a leather covering .I on the rims, which covering is in contact with the embossing-rollerB.

A sheet of paper to be embossed is inserted between the roller E and the feed-roller A and is drawn by the feed-rollers in the direction of the arrow at, Fig. 2, the curved arms G serving to hold said sheet closely against the feed-roller and preventing the wrinkling of said sheet. From the feed-roller A the sheet is fed upon the embossing-roller B and held in close contact with the same by curved arms G and the rollers I-I until it arrives at the point of contact between the embossingroller 1- and impression-roller C, where the said. sheet is embossed. As the sheet is at all times held snugly against the feed-roller and embossing-roller and is guided in its passage,

there is no possibility of wrinkling the same, and a perfectly-embossed sheet is thus pl0 duced.

Having thus described my invention, I

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent In an embossing-machine, the combination, with a feed-roller and an embossing-roller, of a friction-roller held on the top of the feedroller and in contact with the same, curved EMILE J AECK Witnesses:
